R&B is never going to be dead, it's just going to evolve.

Im living proof you can excel regardless of where you come from.

Finding a solution is the way to go.

There's nothing you can do about what social media is now or the internet. You just try to find other avenues to make yourself seen and heard.

People are still hearing your music. They might not be buying it, but they might be having it and you don't know it. Your music is still out there.

Today on social media, you can release anything and everybody will hear it. Back in the day, that was your only outlet, getting a deal with a record company and them distributing it around the world.

Just to be able to release an album back in the day when I came out was very gratifying. Most people were not given the opportunity.
